On motion, it was resolved to fix the

it at 1,000; and an amendment to the

To the Editor of The Alleghaxias :
Baltimore street to-day presents quite a
gay appearance. The newspaper offices
and their vicinities have been for several
days crowded with an excited mass of
betting, chance-dealing, "slight-o'-hand"
b'hoys, who it seems will never tire speak

To the Editor or The Allkguamax :
Our city is kept in quite a ferment in re
gard to the action of the Democratic Con
vention in Charleston, and its bearing on
the Convention of the Constitutional and
Union party, to be held in this city on the
Oth of May, and the Republican Conven
tion to be held at Chicago. The Douglas
men were in high glee, but recent events
in the Convention have rather depressed
their hopes. Governor King, of Missouri,
wants the ''Cincinnati Platform" "with
out any tail," pure and unadulterated ;
while the extreme South wants it with
several new planks among others, that
Congress or the Territorial Legislature
has no right to abolish slavery in the ter
ritories, or to prohibit the introduction of
slaves therein, nor any power to destroy
or impair the right of property in slaves
by any legislation whatever. This plat
form, if adopted, (which from present ap
pearances is doubtful, would, according
to Douglas' instructions to his friends, be
fatal to his nomination.
The friends of the Constitutional and
Union party are making preparations fur
their convention, and have entailed the
Ku dominations!

But we dare not say anything derogatory
of the fair sex. We must all acknowledge
our inferiority in refinement, and that they
are, in our troubles and trials, ministering
angels and earthly guardians. They are
our comforters in sickness ; our assistants,

health and happiness. God bless them!
We men must love them.
Political speculations in regard to the
Charleston nomination are numerous.
Nearly every one has a different opinion
as to who will be the nominee, and how
the Convention will terminate its labors.
The seceding of delegates from five or six
States has caused immense excitement,
and no small degree of trouble in the ranks
of the harmonious democracy. The con
fusion at Charleston has created great
dissatisfaction.
The Constitutional Union Tarty here is
making active preparations for holding its

five miles of these works being within the

enters the county, at the Summit, or, (to
be more particular,) at Lemon's Tavern.
From this point it commences its estern
descent, crossing the Huntingdon, Indi

Much excitement was created in Troy
N. Y., on the 27th ult., in consequence o
a Deputy United States Marshal arresting
a negro claimed as being a chattel of a
gentleman of Virginia. Upon identifica
tion before a United States Commissioner,
the negro was remanded, when a writ of
habeus corpus was issued by Judge Gould.
By this time a crowd of a thousand pcr

taken from the officers, and eoveyed across
the river, where he was agaiu arrested.
He was again rescued, however, and con
